Every endurance race leaves a trail of numbers: lap times, gaps, positions, retirements — hour by hour, car by car. We read that trail for the full history of the FIA World Endurance Championship and turn it into one comparable analysis per race.
104 races, 14 seasons, 15 circuits in 13 countries. From the LMP1 era of Audi, Toyota and Porsche to the Hypercar years, every round is measured the same way: pace order by manufacturer, reliability by class, lead changes, winning margin, efficiency over the distance and how settled the closing phase really was.
The point of using one method everywhere is comparison. A wet six-hour race at Spa can be held against a 24-hour race at Le Mans, and the 2014 field against the 2025 one. Every figure is recalculated with each build, and every claim in the text traces back to a number in the tables below it.
